Pain in scapula left shoulder blade
I have pain in scapula from past several years. It worsens when I don't get rest. I feel heating, tingling, numbness at the site of pain when pain is more. I have visited several doctors in past years. They gave muscle relaxants and pain killers. They are temporarily giving relief but now I need a permanent treatment for this. It's been more than 12 yrs. I HV got xray done but nothing shows in the report. One Dr has advised MRI and other Dr says ultra Sonic therapy and exercise along with medicines but no investigations. I have a small baby also 2 months old through c-sec. So I don't have time to rest and exercise or even sleep. What should I do to get permanent relief from pain. I have wasted so much of money and time on this pain treatment in these yrs.

Pain around scapular region needs to be evaluated with clinical examination..
MRI will only help the clinician to confirm his findings..
You would not understand or gain much even if you get an MRI scan done directly without seeing an Ortho doctor.
If doctor has advised you to get an MRI , its for him to confirm his clinical findings and diagnosis.
Mostly you won't require blood tests for this is what I feel.
